CoMC Group 2 (Elysia, Bryson, Josh)

'Cragons are a breed between crups and dragons. They're a brand new experiment, so not everything is known about them. Some of them have scales and hide, like dragons, some resemble dragons more than dogs, and some look more like Jack Russel terriers than others.

Their blood, livers and heart are highly magical and valuable. While they all have wings and can fly somewhat, it is unknown whether they would be able to fly well when older. They cannot breathe fire as of yet, but that doesn't stop them from trying. Every once in a while, they would sneeze and smoke would come out of their snouts.

In case they do start breathing fire, immediately call me and back away.

Their tails are forked, just like those of crups, but we won't be cutting them away, like we do with crups.

They are ferocious towards Muggles. While they are nicer towards wizards, they still distrust them and would hurt them if necessary. These are only cubs now, so they can't really do you any damage. Once they get to know someone - a wizard or a witch - and they see that the person is worth trusting, they become extremely loyal. Treat them with respect and they will respect you in turn.

Diet: Like crups, they will eat anything, but they do prefer meat. There's raw steaks prepared for you to feed them, but if they eat anything else, it won't be a big deal.

They have talons, like dragons and you'll have to cut them, with a painless Severing Charm. Make sure you do not hurt the Cragons.

If they have scales, you will polish them with the paste you can find in the basket I gave you. Put some paste on the provided cloth and polish the scales.If they are rough-coated, like crups, you'll comb them with the dog comb, make sure there's no knots.

They'll want to fly around and it is encouraged that they do. I ask you to make sure they don't hurt themselves and to help them stay in the air. You can play with them, get their trust, don't hurt them and enjoy yourselves.

Josh had listened to the instructions with little and less enthusiasm. He'd never been one for animals, especially when they weren't dangerous. And, as the professor had explained, they couldn't breath fire, so, in Josh's opinion, this made them pretty lame. Looking at the other two in his group, Josh stepped over the pen fence to get to the animals.

Servants work, that was what this was.

Moving towards the one closest, Josh was just simply going to get on with this. Though, the cragon had different ideas it seemed as it darted away from him a moment later. Oh for Merlin's sake. "Are one of you going to help me catch one of these stupid things?" Josh growled, looking back at them with a raised eyebrow.
